ESPN speculates Tony Jefferson's pick?
I was not aware of this until I stumbled across it in a detroit news article, but the News is suggesting that ESPN speculates that Jefferson will pick Michigan next month. After doing a brief search at ESPN, I could not find anything. Does anybody know anything about this? I hope it is accurate, but again, I could not find any other source.
Here is the link:

Wouldn't that be a nice Xmas present?
November 25th, 2009 at 1:13 PM ^
He would be a great get.

Hope Jefferson makes his decision so it is a nice Chanukah present - it starts on Dec. 11 this year.

Here's a link to ESPN's on the trail feature that was last updated on TJ two days ago.

Doesn't seem to be anything concrete there. They make it sound like it's a two horse race between us an UCLA unless he decides he wants to be an RB and then look out for USC. Don't forget, he's already made a soft commit to UCLA so unless they completely blow his official next month I'd honestly be surprised if he ends up in Ann Arbor.

since the first line "the No. 1 football recruiting prospect in the country according to ESPN.com" is an error. He's the #1 Athlete and the #10 overall prospect according to ESPN.com

Given the article says he will announce on December 14th, does anyone know if he plans to enroll early as well?
November 25th, 2009 at 1:36 PM ^
hes probably gonna end up at ucla, dont get to excited
November 25th, 2009 at 1:40 PM ^
Well until he officially commits there I'm convincing myself ESPN is 100% right on this one.
November 25th, 2009 at 2:10 PM ^
if you are ever convinced that ESPN is 100% right about anything, then you are living a lie.
November 25th, 2009 at 1:56 PM ^
We could seriously use a big coup like this. It would be nice to have a huge surprise in the positive column for a change.
November 25th, 2009 at 2:04 PM ^
We're third behind UCLA and OU. I'm not optimistic.
November 25th, 2009 at 7:44 PM ^
And where was that reported? ESPN. Point is you don't know which ESPN to trust, since their reports are contradicting each other. I think we can all agree Jefferson would be most welcome at Michigan.

Take anything ESPN has to say with a grain of salt. When they start doing things like this they only get the fans excited and then we give their websites a lot of hits because we cant't find information on it anywhere.
Remember ESPN's parent company is Disney. I when I see Corso and Herbstreet on Gameday it may as well be Hannah Montana and i Carly (I have a tween at home).
When Rivals or Scout or GBMW has something I'll start to get excited.
November 25th, 2009 at 3:12 PM ^
I hope so! I give us a great shot! 75 percent ;)
November 25th, 2009 at 4:28 PM ^
Eh. I dont think so. ESPN speculates we are #1, but he himself didnt put us in his top 2, even right after his visit. Who is more believable in this situation?
November 25th, 2009 at 4:26 PM ^
Anyone assuming Jefferson's coming here is just setting themselves up for a nic big dong-punch on signing day. I'm far more interested in Furman coming here anyhow.
November 25th, 2009 at 4:41 PM ^
I saw that article earlier this week and wondered the same thing. I think he'd be a bigger asset than Furman just because he's an all around athlete. We could fit him any where needed. But he still has some big visits coming up so I don't think he'll pick Michigan.

Dandy Don says 60-40 Michigan

If you read this, this would be the best birthday present ever.
November 25th, 2009 at 7:45 PM ^
Birthday-Christmas-Hanukkah... it'd be a great present period

Ok I have a question. I keep hearing about sanctions by the NCAA that prevent more than 25 people signing to a class. Is that a Big Ten thing or an NCAA thing, because if it's NCAA than Oklahoma couldn't take anymore anyway..?

Confession: I wrote that article. What I did was find four dates, three facts, two quotes, and then I made one baseless speculation.
